"c >> mason: good evening, scott is on assignment i'm anthony mason. it's getting nasty in the presidential campaign with each side accusing the other of lying about mitt romney's role of bain si capital and romney demanding an apology. with jobs the number-one issue in the election, the obama campaign says romney was running the private equity firm at a nvme when it was investing in dimpanies that were sending american jobs overseas. romney insists he'd already left efin at the time in question. we'll hear from him in just a moment. t rst, wyatt andrews look at romney and his role at bain olpital. r: reporter: when mitt romney was c.e.o. of bain capital in the '90s, bain invested in a series of companies, including call centers and manufacturers that expanded overseas, sometimes at the expense of american workers. after those investments were first reported in the "washington post," the obama campaign pounced.

>> mitt romney's companies were pioneers in outsourcing u.s. jobs to low-wage countries. gn reporter: when the president's campaign then charged that romney as a bain manager personally shipped jobs overseas, the romney campaign denied that saying it never happened. outsourcing is now a crucial issue for romney who's running on a platform of american jobs. >> it's because i love jobs! i want more good jobs for the omerican people! >> reporter: romney says he took a leave of absence from bain capital in february of 1999 to run the salt lake olympics, which means he never had control of the companies doing the outsourcing. however, in the years romney describes himself as on leave from bain, here's how bain was describing him in reports filed epor the securities and exchange commission. "sole shareholder, sole firector, chief executive nt,icer, president, and even managing director" of a firm he e wa he wasn't managing. ame obama campaign suggested that romney might have been lying to the s.e.c., but several experts told us not so. o putting that information on

that form does not necessarily mean that you're an active wnnager of the company. >> reporter: tom storkin is a former s.e.c. investigator and enforcement attorney. c's entirely possible he owned this company but didn't run the e.mpany? >> that is correct. he could have been on a leave of on sense. >> reporter: romney would have made money if the companies doing that outsourcing sold at a profit, but, anthony, the s.e.c. documents do not show that romney ran bain after '99 or that he personally shipped jobs overseas. >> mason: thanks, wyatt. earlier today chief political correspondent jan crawford talked to governor romney. >> reporter: governor romney, the obama campaign is saying you either committed a felony by lying to the s.e.c. or you're orng to the american people tout when you left bain youtal. what do you say to that? >> well, i think this kind of atatement from the obama team is really shocking. it's ridiculous. and it's beneath the dignity of the presidency. thimply think the president has

ld becognize that this should be a campaign about the direction of the country and these personal attacks have to stop. >> reporter: you say it's ridiculous. but why is this there this lscrepancy? you said you left bain in 1999 yet bain is listing you as c.e.o. until 2002. why were you listed as c.e.o. until 2002? >> the documents show that there's a difference between ownership-- which is that i owned shares in bain but did not manage bain. otleft as everyone knows to run ee olympics in february of 1999. i was full time running the olympics. i had no role whatsoever in the management of bain after i went to the olympics and that's been demonstrated by people who work at bain, by all of the documents but i still retained an ownership interest. >> reporter: even if you weren't making daily managerial decisions, though, doesn't the buck stop with you? >> actually, when you leave an enterprise and you have other

people who are managing the , terprise, who take fsponsibility for the stvestment decisions, who decide s o's going to get hired and rered, who decide compensation decisions, they're the managers, they're the people running the opsiness. >> reporter: so you don't remember a board meeting? you don't remember talking about whether or not there should be outsourcing jobs overseas? ny you remember any involvement with bain capital from 1999 on? >> jan, i had no involvement with the management of bain capital after february of 1999. >> reporter: do you think the president owes you an apology because his campaign has suggested you're a criminal or a liar? >> absolutely. my goodness, what kind of a president would have a campaign that says something like that about the nominee of another party? this is reckless and absurd on his part. >> mason: jan, there's also a brewing controversy over those u.s. olympic uniforms for american athletes that were made in china. avd romney have anything to say about that? >> reporter: anthony, i did ask

him about those uniforms and here's what he had to say. p> i don't know the particulars of the circumstance so i really can't comment on that. i presume they have sponsors reat are associated with uniforms and matters of that nature so i'm not going to weigh into the decisions made in that regard. >> mason: thanks, jan. jan, ralph lauren has just d nounced the uniforms made for the next olympics will be made cs the united states. a federal court in washington heard closing arguments today in a challenge to texas' voter i.d. law. the law would require texans to show government-issued photo identification in order to vote. the u.s. justice department says this would keep thousands from voting and violates the voting rights act. more now from anna werner. er.reporter: college students demarieno hill and dominique ndnday are registering voters in houston's third ward, a place where many minorities aren't eigned up to vote. it thank you. gn okay, then. >> reporter: they don't like the new law. >> we already have an uphill struggle to encourage people to register so now when we tell

them they have to jump through these hoops it's more of a struggle. >> reporter: the law requires texas' 13 million voters to tresent a photo i.d. at the polls and not just any photo , on, only a driver's license, passport, military i.d., gun permit, or a state-issued identification card will be accepted. attorney general greg abbot says it's to combat election fraud. >> in this last election in may there were more than 200 votes cast for corpses and when you have dead people casting votes you see we have a threat to the integrity of the election itstem. >> reporter: abbot points to 62 fraud cases prosecuted by his office over ten years. st during the same time period, there were 39 million votes cast. >> it's statistically not there. >> reporter: kim keenan is general counsel for the n.a.a.c.p. she says the law passed by the republican-controlled legislature creates new obstacles to voting for groups

who traditionally vote democratic. >> this really affects seniors and young people and people of color. >> reporter: in texas, getting a o i.o i.d. is harder for some. nearly a third of the state's 254 counties don't even have a driver's license office. attorney general abbot concedes that as many as 100,000 to 200,000 people in texas don't have photo i.d.s but he says the tiw is necessary. so no political motives here, is what you would say? hindhe motive behind a photo i.d. law is to prevent cheating at the ballot box. >> reporter: a federal court is expected to decide later this summer whether the law will be allowed to go into effect. anna werner, cbs news, dallas. on mason: j.p. morgan chase said today that high-risk investment that went bad cost the bank a lot more than $2 billion c.e.o. jamie dimon first reported. j.p. morgan gone said losses are up to $5.8 billion and could top

$7 billion. but dimon said today the worst appears to be over. j.p. morgan stock soared 6%. $200 million in customer money fs vanished from an iowa brokerage firm called p.f.g. best. the c.e.o. was arrested today, accused of making false statements to regulators. russell wasendorf senior is now being called the midwest madoff. nyter a ribbon cutting ceremony in 2009, russell wasendorf senior proudly showed off his new headquarters to iowa's congressional delegation, including senator chuck grassley. but the gates are now locked. wasendorf was arrested today after regulators discovered $200 million in missing customer money. on monday, wasendorf attempted suicide in his car in the company parking lot, leaving a note that said "i have committed "raud." >> i felt that cedar falls is a great place to have a business.

>> reporter: wasendorf had moved ses firm to cedar falls, iowa, to chicago three years ago. yeat's my hometown so i wanted b be here. >> mason: he even opened this n maian restaurant on main street, but the only thing wasendorf was cooking was the books. this 2011 bank statement shows $218 million in customer segregated accounts. it's a fake. the real statement shows the company had only $7 million. in his suicide note, wasendorf admitted using photo shop, excel, scanners, and laser and ink jet printers. "i was able to make very convincing forgeries" he said. "the fraud started 20 years ago." michael greenberger is a former federal regulator. >> they were fraudulently prepared bank statements, documents were intercepted through a post office box. with proper auditing this should have been caught. >> mason: but regulators missed it. the $200 million is still missing. for this, wasendorf wrote "i

feel constant and intense guilt." im syria, the assad regime has begun quietly shifting some of its chemical weapons from storage sites. it's not clear why. syria's dictator, bashar al- rusad, is trying to crush a popular uprising that began in lrch of last year and his army is now accused of carrying out a massacre yesterday in the farming village of tremseh in hama province. clarissa ward is following developments from across the border in turkey. clarissa, what do we know about this massacre? >> well, anthony, cbs news has spoken to a 17-year-old student from the village of tremseh who claims to have witnessed the massacre. he said that at about 5:00 in the morning the army surrounded urs village and that a few hours later helicopters began firing bewn on the village, tanks began shelling, and that then hundreds of soldiers and also militia members those loyal to president

gesad, entered the village and began to slaughter people. activist video that has appeared today on youtube appears to show fllagers from tremseh identifying their family and friends, also burying their dead. this young man who we spoke to said that 74 bodies have been positively identified at this stage, but some of these activist groups are saying as many as 250 people were killed, which would really make this the bloodiest massacre since this conflict began. obviously impossible for us to verify these figures. and u.n. observers were stopped by the syrian air force from getting into that village and doing some investigation. >> mason: clarissa ward in turkey tonight, thanks, clarissa. om cuba today, something that ydn't happened in 50 years: a cargo ship from miami pulled into havana bay. the ship was loaded with food and other supplies sent from the cuban exile community in florida to family members in the communist nation. ioanswered questions in the

>> mason: six months ago today "he "costa concordia" ran apround and capsized off the italian island of giglio. dozens of people aboard the cruise ship were killed and the salvage effort is off to a slow otart. from giglio, here's elizabeth palmer. >> reporter: at 9:42 exactly, a salute from the boats of giglio momed the moments six months ago that the "costa concordia" hit the rocks. while on land in the island's church, family and friends remembered the victims of one of the most dramatic maritime disasters in modern history. on january 13, as more than 4,000 passengers and crew struggled to board lifeboats on the sinking "costa concordia," "aptain francesco schettino abandoned both them and his ship. 32 people died in the chaos. one of the local people who ilped in that rescue will ever forget that night.

>> reporter: six months on, the ilosta concordia" itself still lies half submerged just offshore. nick sloan is the man in charge o the salvage operation, the most complex one in the world. little remains now on "costa concordia" desks except a jumble of lounge chairs by the empty pools. but on the underside, clearly visible, is the chunk of rock that gashed the hull. 0> it's a big rock. we think it's somewhere between 70 and 80 tons so we'll cut it into three pieces to take it out of there. >> reporter: the first piece did enme out this afternoon. alen it's all gone, salvage crews will build a platform under the ship and cranes will slowly pull her upright. then air pumped into massive seel containers welded to either side will-- if computer models are correct-- refloat the wreck which italian investigators are desperate to have a look at.

it's a crime scene? >> i think it's what they call a wime scene, yeah. so everything we do has to be approved and they monitor very closely what we say we're going to do that we actually do it. >> reporter: everything on board is potential evidence in 'sltiple lawsuits, starting the the criminal case against the captain who's already been charged with manslaughter. just this week, anthony, captain schettino gave the first interview he's given since his rviest in which he offered a very unconvincing apology, according to most italians, which makes him once again the most reviled man in this country. >> mason: elizabeth palmer in italy. meanks, liz. lirts of texas have seen nothing but rain for days and it led to serious flooding around houston today. nearly 100 homes were damaged. some places got a foot and a half of rain over the last week. the weather service says it could be enough to pull southeast texas out of an historic drought. the legend of bonnie and clyde itves on with a new auction.
